Edo-Jowa Yoichi

Largest Open-Air Bath

A high ceiling, white walls, black-lacquered pillars, and flooring crafted from the wood of aged trees that is soft and pleasant on the feet. This spafacility recreates the nostalgic ambiance of the townscape and public bathhouses of the Edo period (1603–1867) in Japan. The combined tub area for men and women is some 1,000 m2—making this the world’s largest open-air bath. The name “Yoichi” is taken from Yoichi Ise, the entrepreneur responsible for opening the first public bathhouse in 1591 (at the dawning of the Edo period). In addition to the high-quality, rich, free-flowing spring water, the staging effects steeped in the atmosphere of Old Edo put this spa in a category unto itself.
